Response from Abraham Lincoln LIves!:
Thanks so much, John!
Ya’ll made me feel like family, so think of me as your “In-House” Lincoln #MovingForward because there’s no product, service or brand not enhanced through association with the “Name, Image & Likeness” of #HonestAbeLincoln.
Appreciatively,

All we needed was delivered for our film production with this Performer. Could not have asked for a better Actor to play Abe Lincoln!

Response from Abraham Lincoln LIves!:
Aw, shucks...
Seriously, though, ya'll's impressive Three Horses Studio-facility in Covington, Georgia, and overall friendly Professionalism made me feel like a genuine Movie Star. And the fact three-time Academy Award Winner Daniel Day-Lewis had announced his retirement from Acting at NEARLY the same time as my portrayal, however silent and brief, could be construed as a positive portent of the likelihood of future opportunities to provide "Living History" of our Country's inarguably iconic 16th President. I sure hope so.
Thanks for affording me what just might be my "Big Break," Jeff!

Re-enactor Lew Welge appeared as Abraham Lincoln at our Civil War Roundtable holiday dinner in December 2016. Lew was a great success with all the Roundtable’s Civil War buffs members, and he remained in the Lincoln persona the entire evening. He gave a wonderful address after the dinner and authentically pitched his voice to mimic Lincoln’s voice. A Civil War historian in attendance was quite taken with Lew’s talk, especially with the fact that Lew had written his own material for a historically accurate 10-minute presentation. Lew Welge has been impersonating Lincoln for 16 years—an entertaining resource for any historical gathering. Lew Welge IS Mr. Lincoln.
